Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soft starter cabinet technology, specifically to a portable soft starter cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Soft starter cabinets are used for starting various high-power motors. They replace traditional starting methods with soft starting to achieve smooth starting, reduce starting current, reduce the mechanical impact on the motor and the power grid caused by the large current during motor startup, improve power quality, and save energy.

[0003] The existing soft starter cabinet is quite heavy, making it very inconvenient to move. Adding wheels to the bottom would affect its stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] In summary, to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a convenient, mobile, and stable soft starter cabinet.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mobile soft starter cabinet, comprising a cabinet body, a movable block, rollers, and drive rods. The rollers are provided in multiple units and are connected to the bottom of the movable block. Two movable blocks and two drive rods are provided. A movable groove, adapted to the movable block and communicating with the interior of the cabinet, is provided on each side of the bottom of the cabinet body. The two drive rods are hinged to the side walls of the cabinet body on both sides, and the bottom of each drive rod abuts against the movable block.

[0006] With this setup, when the soft starter cabinet needs to be moved, the drive rod inside the cabinet can be controlled to swing, causing its bottom to slide against the movable block. Since the drive rod is hinged, when it swings, it applies a downward force to the movable block at the bottom. Under this force, the movable block moves downward relative to the cabinet. When the drive rod is perpendicular to the movable block, the rollers will fully protrude from the bottom of the cabinet, supporting the entire cabinet. At this point, the cabinet can be pushed to move via the rollers. No additional tools are needed, making operation convenient. After it has moved to the appropriate position, the drive rod can be controlled again to retract the movable block, preventing it from supporting the cabinet. The bottom surface of the cabinet then contacts the ground, at which point the soft starter cabinet enters an immovable state, exhibiting strong stability.

[0007] Furthermore, a driving block is provided at the bottom of the driving rod, and the width of the driving block is greater than the diameter of the driving rod.

[0008] With this configuration, the driving block can be set to be larger, resulting in a larger contact area and greater stability when it comes into contact with the active block.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the drive block is a plane, and one side edge of the drive block is rounded.

[0010] With this configuration, when the drive rod is perpendicular to the movable block, the plane contacts the movable block, resulting in strong stability and preventing the movable block from retracting during movement.

[0011] Furthermore, the side of the drive block with rounded corners faces away from the interior of the cabinet.

[0012] With this configuration, the drive lever will swing from the outward direction to the vertical position, without entering the inward direction or touching the mounting frame and causing interference.

[0013] Furthermore, the length of the drive rod above its hinge point is greater than the length below its hinge point.

[0014] With this configuration, the lever arm above the drive rod is longer, making it easier to support the entire cabinet according to the lever principle.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the movable groove is provided with several sliding tracks, and the side wall of the movable block is provided with sliding grooves adapted to the sliding tracks.

[0016] With this configuration, the sliding track and sliding groove work together to guide the moving block, preventing it from tilting to one side and getting stuck even if there is a gap between the moving block and the moving groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the cabinet is equipped with a rubber pad.

[0018] With this setup, when not in motion, the rubber pad contacts the bottom surface, resulting in greater friction and stronger stability.

[0019] Furthermore, the rolling wheel is a swivel ball.

[0020] With this design, the shape of the omnidirectional ball will not change as it moves in any direction, making it easier to store in the slot.

[0021] Furthermore, the side wall inside the cabinet is provided with a stop block, and when the drive rod contacts the stop block, the drive rod is perpendicular to the movable block.

[0022] With this design, the stop block can limit the movement of the drive rod, preventing it from being pulled too far, making operation more convenient. Attached Figure Description

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to the present embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present embodiment.

[0030] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a movable soft starter cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, and also including a movable block 2, rollers 3, and drive rods 4. The rollers 3 are provided in several units and are connected to the bottom of the movable block 2. There are two movable blocks 2 and two drive rods 4. The bottom of the cabinet body 1 has a movable groove 101 on each side that is adapted to the movable block 2 and communicates with the interior of the cabinet body 1. The two drive rods 4 are respectively hinged to the side walls of the cabinet body 1 on both sides. The bottom of the drive rods 4 abuts against the movable block 2.

[0031] With this setup, when the soft starter cabinet needs to be moved, the drive rod 4 inside the cabinet 1 can be controlled to swing, causing its bottom to slide against the movable block 2. Since the drive rod 4 is hinged, when it swings, it applies a downward force to the movable block 2 at the bottom. Under this force, the movable block 2 will move downward relative to the cabinet 1. When the drive rod 4 is perpendicular to the movable block 2, the roller 3 will completely protrude from the bottom of the cabinet 1, supporting the entire cabinet 1. At this point, the cabinet 1 can be pushed to move via the roller 3. No additional tools are required, making operation convenient. After it moves to the appropriate position, the drive rod 4 can be controlled again to retract the movable block 2, preventing it from supporting the cabinet 1. The bottom surface of the cabinet 1 then contacts the ground, at which point the soft starter cabinet enters an immovable state, exhibiting strong stability.

[0032] In this preferred embodiment, the bottom of the drive rod 4 is provided with a drive block 401, and the width of the drive block 401 is greater than the diameter of the drive rod 4.

[0035] With this configuration, when the drive rod 4 is perpendicular to the movable block 2, it will be in contact with the movable block 2 on a plane, which provides strong stability and prevents the movable block 2 from swinging back during movement.

[0036] In this preferred embodiment, the side of the drive block 401 with rounded corners faces away from the interior of the cabinet 1.

[0037] With this configuration, the operation of the drive lever 4 is to swing from the outward direction to the vertical state, without entering the inward direction or touching the mounting frame and causing interference.

[0038] In this preferred embodiment, the length of the drive rod 4 above its hinge point is greater than the length below its hinge point.

[0039] With this configuration, the lever arm above the drive rod 4 is longer, making it easier to support the entire cabinet 1 according to the lever principle.

[0040] In this preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the movable groove 101 is provided with a plurality of sliding tracks 1011, and the side wall of the movable block 2 is provided with a sliding groove 201 adapted to the sliding tracks 1011. The above setting is not limited, and some plunger springs can also be provided inside the movable groove 101 to assist sliding.

[0041] With this configuration, the sliding track 1011 and the sliding groove 201 work together to guide the movable block 2. Even if there is a gap between the movable block 2 and the movable groove 101, it will not tilt to one side and get stuck during movement.

[0042] In this preferred embodiment, the bottom of the cabinet 1 is provided with a rubber pad 102.

[0043] With this configuration, when not in motion, the rubber pad 102 contacts the bottom surface, resulting in greater friction and stronger stability.

[0044] In this preferred embodiment, the rolling wheel 3 is a universal ball. The above setting is not a limitation. The movable block 2 can also be provided with a groove for placing the universal ball. The universal ball can be snapped or glued into the groove.

[0045] With this design, the shape of the omnidirectional ball will not change as it moves in any direction, making it easier to store in the movable slot 101.

[0046] In this preferred embodiment, the side wall inside the cabinet 1 is provided with a stop block 103. When the drive rod 4 contacts the stop block 103, the drive rod 4 is perpendicular to the movable block 2. The above setting is not limited. Alternatively, the stop block 103 can be omitted and replaced with a limiting structure to hold the drive rod 4 in place.

[0047] With this configuration, the stop 103 can limit the movement of the drive lever 4, preventing it from being pulled too far, making operation more convenient.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.
